The Archaeological Museum was founded in 1924 and hosts archaeological finds both from Verona and its surrounding areas (epigraphs, sculptures, mosaics, bronzes, etc.) as well as pieces from other collections.
About 600 works of art are exhibited in the museum and some 150 more can be seen displayed within the external cloister and the Theatre area whereas some thousands pieces are preserved in store-rooms.
The whole complex of buildings and cloisters of the former Jesuates convent is itself a monument worth visiting. Many finds, inscriptions and sarcophaguses are located in the Museum cloisters and in the Theatre external area.
